There's do'ers and don'ters and i wills and won'tersd
And them, that don't even try
Givers and takers, movers and shakers
And them that are just passing by

Skidrows and winos and some folks that i know
That don't do like i think they should
I thought they were livin' their lifes all wrong
Long, before i understood


We all have to walk our own road
We can't always go where we're told
In the end where it'll end up - the lord only knows
But we all have to walk our own road

I've had some good times and i've had a good life
And i've had things goin' my way
I've walked the highground and treasures that i've found
An' women who brightened my day

Then there were times i was caught in the crosswinds
With life - goin' 'round and around
Like a ship with no sail i was caught in a gale
Til i fin'ly just ran it a-ground
